I am a sociologist who studies populism, political realignment, and social movements. I’ve worked for over 25 years as a political organizer, campaigner, and strategist. I’m co-founder of Popular Comms Institute, PA Stands Up, Lancaster Stands Up, Common Defense, Beyond the Choir, and Mennonite Action, and author of Hegemony How-To: A Roadmap for Radicals.

Presently I am a PhD candidate at University of California, Berkeley and a Senior Research Fellow at the Othering & Belonging Institute.
